Build the inventory while everything is still in the room.
A simple way to record possessions, keep evidence, and prepare for a professional coverage conversation.
THE STARTING POINT
A dated inventory records what you own and supporting evidence. It can help organize an insurance discussion or claim, but the listed values do not establish coverage or guarantee payment.
01
Start with one room.
Work through the bedroom, study area, kitchen, and storage. Add the item name, quantity, room, and an estimated per-item replacement amount. Use the notes field for a receipt reference or model description. Do not put passwords, payment numbers, or identity documents in the inventory.
02
Keep evidence somewhere else.
TDI recommends photographing or recording belongings and retaining supporting information. Store those photos and receipts somewhere accessible if the room or device is unavailable. The tool does not upload your photos; its downloadable file contains the entries you make. Keep that file private, especially on a shared computer.
03
Review what the total does and does not mean.
The total adds your entries. It is not an appraisal, a recommended limit, or a claim calculation. Ask Guy about special limits, deductibles, and settlement terms for the actual proposal. Update the list after a move or a significant purchase rather than recreating it only after a problem.
General guidance starts the conversation. Guy reviews the actual policy and property.
